*THIS IS NOT THE NORTH SIDE WITH THE LAKE. WE ARE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PARK* Please join us for June’s Light Hike to Little Mulberry Park in Gwinnett County. This is a great county park with a little of everything we love and enjoy. The park has a combined multiuse/pedestrian trail experience which offers a hike through a near old growth forest to unspoiled Table Rock Falls and then explores the adjacent river valley. The long scenic views and wildlife make it a favorite for hikers. We know that this event is not for everyone as some people are not ready to join groups. As we slowly begin to meet in-person again – there’s a couple things we want you to know. • We will do our best to monitor and remind everyone about social distancing; however, please take it upon yourself to decide if you are ready to participate in a group event. • In an effort to practice social distancing responsibly, we will divide into groups of 25 or less. Thankfully, this has a wide path which makes it easier to practice social distancing while conversing. • We love you, but if you are not feeling well, please make sure to stay home… • We will not hand out name tags so please bring your own. • PLEASE NOTE: We would love to hug ALL of you… However, we are trying to create a safe environment so we ask everyone to PLEASE refrain from hugging or shaking hands. This will be an easy hike with a difficulty level of D2+ with a distance of a total of 3.3 miles with a few hills. For your sake and the sake of the group, please do not assume beyond your ability.
